Cars A and B collide as shown. Neglecting the effect of friction, what would be the angular velocity of A and B immediately after impact if A and B were to form a single rigid body as a result of the collision? In solving the problem, let C and D be the mass centers of A and B, respectively, and use the following data: the weight of A is WA = 3130 lb, the radius of gyration of A is kC = 34.5 in.,thespeedof A right before impact is υA = 12 mph, the weight of B is WB = 3520 lb, the radius of gyration of B is kD = 39.3 in.,the speedof B right before impact is υB = 15 mph, d = 19 in., and ℓ = 144 in. Finally, assume that while A and B form a single rigid body right after impact, the mass center of the rigid body formed by A and B coincides with the mass center of the A-B system right before impact.
